I would not be suprised if Marshal is the guy to go into the middle. In addition, he has two all-pro linebackers on both sides of him, and he did a very good job last year. I still am holding out small hope for Peirce, and really wanted him here for continutiy more than anything. When putting their skills right next to each other, Perice is better than Marshal, but I dont think it would be that big of a difference. This is all assuming that Marshall is a natural LB and could play in the middle as I have heard.
